definitely darker green ; yellow of anterior part of body, including the

Measurements. — Males (14 specimens), wing 50.6-53.7 (52.2), 

 tail 26.3-30.6 (28.7), culmen from base 10.8-12.5 (11.6), tarsus 20.4- 

 22.7 (21.5) mm. 



Females (6 specimens), wing 53.0-54.3 (53.5), tail 28.1-30.1 

 (29.5), culmen from base 11.6-12.4 (11.9), tarsus 19.1-20.0 (19.6)

Range. — Western Colombia, from northern Choco (Rio Jurado, 

 Rio Jurubida, Nuqui) and northwestern Antioquia (Villa Artiaga, 

 Dabeiba) south through western Caldas (Santa Cecilia) and Valle 

 (Puerto Muchimbo, Jimenez), including the upper Cauca Valley 

 (Riofrio, Cali). 



This race has been supposed to range into extreme eastern Darien 

 at Cana but specimens from that locality agree best with typical 

 vitellinus.
